monty got a raw deal - live in chicago / 1995 - r.e.m. lyrics

[verse 1]
monty, this seems strange to me
the movies had that movie thing
but nonsense has a welcome ring
and heroes don’t come easily
now, nonsense isn’t new to me
i know my head, i know my feet
mischief knocked me in the knees
so, just let go
just let go
i saw the ocean meet the man
i saw you buried in the sand
a friend was there to hold your hand
said, walk on by
so, i went walking through the street
i saw you strung up in a tree
a woman knelt there said to me
said, hold your tongue
hold your tongue
[chorus]
you don’t owe me anything
you don’t want this sympathy (waste your breath)
don’t you waste your breath (don’t waste your breath)
for the silver screen

[verse 2]
the nonsense doesn’t mean a thing
they tried to bust you in a sting
but virtue isn’t everything
so, don’t waste time
now, here’s a rhyme that you can steal
put this on your reel to reel
mischief threw a rotten deal
monty’s laying low
he is laying low
just let go
just let go

[chorus]
you don’t owe me anything
you don’t want this sympathy (don’t waste your breath)
don’t you waste your breath (don’t waste your breath)
monty, this seems strange to me

[outro, spoken]
thanks a lot
